Some body actually told me that tires can roll?! HA! They must be a little coo coo for coco puffs we all know tires don’t roll, they only flip.
And a lot of flipping they did. T-Claps for the teamwork on the even bigger monster truck tire that took 3 PAX to flip. Keeping the group together like we did today for the various parts of the beatdown gave a solid mix of hard work and #mumblechatter/2ndF.
It was also kind of funny that an exercise that we have not done in months, Manmakers, made an appearance by both Q’s without either of us knowing each others plan.
Good to see Dream becoming more of a regular lately, even joining us at coffeeteria, he is warming up to this weird but friendly group. #Islandofmisfittoys
Announcements
Pretty sure Saturday was the last day to sign up for mudrun but keep your eyes on twitter in case they open up more spots.
If you did miss it there is alway GORUCK Red, Light & Blue in May! Drop Thrill and YHC are already HCs & Paid so come on out with us! Even if you don’t, expect to see us in the gloom with the rucks in the coming months. #Backpackbackpack
There was some #Mumblechatter on twitter this week about a F3UnionCo Kettle Bell work out. At this point it was only talk but if we continue to grow this could become reality so keep it in the back of your mind.
Continue to keep Zip in your prayers, he is making slow progress but progress nonetheless, also the family of the coworker/friend of DT & Mall Cop that passed away unexpectedly.
Chime in with any other thoughts or #Mumblechatter I may have missed in the comments.
Always an honor to lead, AYE!

Iron Works – I’ll throw that one out there too for a name.
I don’t know how beastly I was, but I’m still sore. Ouch!
Thanks CT for always encouraging and helping me find ways to overcome. I told him afterwards that part of my issue with certain things is that I still weigh a lot and I’m frankly afraid of hurting someone (or myself).
So if I avoid something, don’t assume it’s just that I’m scared of doing it for my own sake. 🙂
Also…
As part of Red Light & Blue I’m trying to raise $200 to help veterans in Charlotte. If you would like to make a donation, I’d really appreciate it!
